Rotoworld Player News

Michael Busch

CHC 1st Baseman #29

Michael Busch went 3-for-6 with two RBI against the Pirates on Saturday.

Busch’s two-run single in the sixth inning capped off a five-run inning and extended the Cubs’ lead to 8-0 in a game Chicago would eventually win 11-0. He’s hitting .245 with a .766 OPS and 56 RBI this season.
Pete Crow-Armstrong

CHC Center Fielder #4

Pete Crow-Armstrong went 4-for-5 with three runs scored, two doubles, a two-run home run, three RBI and a stolen base against the Pirates on Saturday.

Crow-Armstrong’s home run was his 23rd of the season. He hit a two-run shot off Ron Marinaccio in the seventh inning. His stolen base was his 26th. After hitting a double and a home run on Friday night, Crow-Armstrong’s offensive domination continued against the Pirates on Saturday. He’s hitting .291 with a .934 OPS and 59 RBI.
Shota Imanaga

CHC Starting Pitcher #18

Shota Imanaga tossed six scoreless innings and got the win in the Cubs’ 11-0 victory over the Pirates on Saturday.

Imanaga gave up four hits, walked one and struck out four. He improved to 7-8 with the win. Imanaga has a scoreless streak of 13 innings over his last two starts. The 32-year-old left-hander has lowered his ERA to 3.72 in the process. Imanaga is lined up to face the Cardinals on the road next week.
Gavin Hollowell

CHC Relief Pitcher #46

Gavin Hollowell allowed one earned run over one inning to pick up the save on Friday against the Pirates.

Hollowell got the call from the bullpen to shut down things in the bottom of the 10th inning after the Cubs took a 3-1 lead in the top half of the frame. Back-to-back ground outs would allow Henry Davis, who began the inning on second, to come around and score, but Hollowell did his part to retire all three batters he faced.
Pete Crow-Armstrong

CHC Center Fielder #4

Pete Crow-Armstrong went 2-for-4 with a double, a homer and one RBI in Friday’s win over the Pirates.

PCA doubled in the third inning, but made his biggest impact in the sixth when he drew the Cubs even with the Pirates after blasting a solo homer off starter Jared Jones to tie the game at 1-1. It was the 22nd homer of the season for Crow-Armstrong, who homered for the first time since his two-homer night on July 8th. With one week left to go in July, Crow-Armstrong is slashing a solid .288/.447/.593 with 10 RBI and nine extra-base hits.
Matthew Boyd

CHC Starting Pitcher #16

Matthew Boyd allowed one earned run over seven innings while striking out four, earning a no-decision in Friday’s win over the Pirates.

Boyd was solid in this one, retiring the first six batters he faced to begin his outing. He would escape a jam in the third inning when Ian Happ gunned down Henry Davis at home when Davis attempted to score on a sacrifice fly, and gave up his lone run in the game in the fifth inning on an RBI single by Davis to bring home Marcel Ozuna. Boyd has allowed one earned run or fewer in three of his last four starts and is scheduled to make one more start this month. He’ll next toe the rubber on Wednesday at the Cardinals.
Matt Shaw

CHC Right Fielder #6

Matt Shaw won’t rejoin the Cubs before the Aug. 3 trade deadline, according to manager Craig Counsell.

Shaw’s hand sprain is getting better, but he’s still having some issue while swinging a bat. Fortunately, the Cubs haven’t lost anything while giving his at-bats to Pedro Ramírez and Michael Conforto.
Kevin Alcantara

CHC Designated Hitter #13

Cubs optioned DH Kevin Alcántara to Triple-A Iowa.

Alcántara was called up in late June and drew playing time in just seven games, only four of which he actually started, while hitting .273/.273/.273 in 11 plate appearances. He’ll try to get back on track in Iowa, as one does.
James Triantos

CHC 2nd Baseman

Cubs recalled 2B James Triantos from Triple-A Iowa.

Triantos has hit .306/.344/.440 at Triple-A Iowa this year and is only 23, but seems unlikely to have a real role with the Cubs for the time being so he can mostly be ignored for fantasy purposes. Perhaps he’ll spell Nico Hoerner some if Hoerner keeps struggling.
Emerson Hancock

SEA Starting Pitcher #26

The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal and Will Sammon report the Mariners are “open” to moving Emerson Hancock.

The assumption had been if the Mariners made a move in their rotation, it would likely be jettisoning Luis Castillo. Hancock would have more value to other teams as a controllable starter who is not making $22.75 million a season. Hancock has had a breakout year, with a 3.16 ERA in his first 19 starts, with 97 strikeouts in 105 1/3 innings pitched. The Athletic’s pair of reporters believe the Cubs and Mariners could match up well in a trade, though stop short of reporting that the Cubs have engaged with the Mariners on Hancock.
